Our vision is to bring the technology of tomorrow into the buildings of today – harnessing the potential of automated and networked innovations to enhance safety and efficiency.
Creating technology for buildings of the future.
Our Strength
As a leading Australian manufacturer, WBS designs and develop all products in-house through a dedicated Research and Development team. This enables us to rapidly implement new and innovative technologies, keeping our solutions at the forefront of the industry. With full control over the development process, we can prototype, test, and refine new features, bringing cutting-edge advancements to market faster than competitors relying on external development. This enables us to consistently meet evolving customer needs while maintaining the highest standards of quality and reliability.
Core Values
Service
Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to providing expert support, tailored solutions, and responsive service, ensuring bespoke experiences from design to delivery. Through reliability and customer focus, we strive to build lasting partnerships based on trust and excellence.
Innovation
Committed to pushing the boundaries of technology, innovation is the driving force behind our company. Our focus is on delivering tomorrow’s solutions—not just meeting today’s customer needs, but anticipating the challenges of the future.
Sustainability
We prioritise recycling and sustainable waste disposal practices across all aspects of our operations. Our programs are designed to minimise waste, ensure responsible disposal of materials, and promote the recycling of resources whenever possible.
Research and Development
Through extensive research combined with years of industry knowledge and expertise as an emergency lighting manufacturer, the WBS team has developed new technologies designed to transform the building management industry.
Our ongoing commitment to research will see an exciting range of network functions emerging over the coming months.
Research Grants
ARC Linkage Project, Australian Research Council
Project Title: Lightweight security framework for Low-Power Wide-Area Network (LPWAN).
This project aims to design and implement a lightweight security framework for Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN).
Smart cities are estimated to have a worldwide market value of US$1.5 trillion by 2020, and LPWAN will provide connectivity to 90% of low bandwidth for smart city applications such as smart metres and smart buildings. Many of these applications are deployed in mission-critical infrastructure such as airports, train stations, hospitals and government buildings, which have strong security requirements.
Before the ubiquitous deployment of such new technology, a strong security framework needs to be developed and implemented. This will ensure that the economic and social impacts of malicious attacks on an LPWAN will be minimised

Awards
2018 - ACS Digital Disruptors Award
ACS (Australian Computer Society) is the largest professional body in Australia representing the ICT sector. WBS Technology was awarded the Gold Disruptor award for Service Transformation for the Digital Consumer.
A Service Transformation project is a project that uses innovative ways to change how an organisation provides their services to the consumer. Our award application identified the Process Improvement, Change Implementation and Management Techniques used. The project provides a better digitally based experience for the customer with measurable controls and outputs.
